Background and aims Dioecy may subject females and males to contrasting selective
pressures, leading to differences in adaptive traits associated with resource allocation and …

Background Dioecious plants have coevolved with diverse plant microbiomes, which are
crucial for the fitness and productivity of their host. Sexual dimorphism in morphology …

Purpose Sex effects may cause significant changes in rhizosphere microbial community
composition and soil properties. Although dioecious plants are widespread, little is known …

The sex-specific physical and biochemical responses in dioecious plants to abiotic stresses
could result in gender imbalance, and how to ease the current situation by microorganisms …

Drought affects the physiological environment of the soil microbiome and plants. However,
the ability of drought and rewetting to regulate sex-specific soil nutrient availability with …

Plant-soil microbe interactions are determined by plant characters. Sexual dimorphism in
root development, nitrogen (N) assimilation and resource allocation have been studied in …

Sexual dimorphism of plants shapes the different morphology and physiology between
males and females. However, it is still unclear whether it influences belowground ecological …

Introduction Microorganisms play an important role in the multifunctionality of soil
ecosystems. Soil microbial diversity and functions have a great impact on plant growth and …

Soil microbiomes play a crucial role in enhancing plant growth, health, and overall
agricultural productivity. Nevertheless, the influence of distinct agricultural management …

Dioecious plants have a wide distribution in nature and gender effect may cause significant
alterations in rhizosphere fungal community and soil properties. However, little is known …
